ICML 2024 in Vienna hosted the "Equity and Access in Algorithms, Mechanisms, and Optimization" social event, focusing on bridging machine learning research and practice for marginalized groups. Introduction by EAAMO directors Ana-Andreea Stoica and Sandro Radovanović, as well as short talks by Celestine Mendler-Dünner and Luke Guerdan, highlighted the event. The gathering concluded with engaging discussions on algorithmic fairness and strategic behavior.

We're thrilled to announce that videos from this semester's colloquium talk series are now available on YouTube!

This semester, we featured three incredible speakers who shared their exemplary work on improving access to opportunities for disadvantaged and marginalized groups. Our monthly online talk series provided a platform for thought-provoking discussions and inspiring insights.

We are proud to share the outstanding work of Harvard ReCompute undergraduate students who have collaborated with EAAMO in Spring 2024 semester. Their efforts focused on reading and highlighting critical questions from papers presented at previous ACM EAAMO conferences resulted in “Sociotechnical and System Considerations for End-to-end Fairness: An Annotated Reading List.”

The EAAMO Faculty Network team hosted a panel discussion titled "Developing and Managing Interdisciplinary Collaborators." This event was designed for junior faculty who are interested in exploring interdisciplinary collaborations or improving their management of existing partnerships.
